Four Allies Blast Trump’s NYC Trial as a ‘Sham’

Former President Donald Trump’s allies, including some potential running mates, attended his business records trial in New York City Tuesday. They criticized the proceedings, questioning the motives of Judge Juan Merchan, District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and witness Michael Cohen.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida GOP Reps. Byron Donalds, and Cory Mills were present at the trial. They made scathing comments about the trial and those involved, expressing their support for Trump.

Trump supporters at the trial criticized the judge, prosecutors, and Cohen. They claimed the trial was a sham and accused the Democrats of targeting Trump for political reasons.

“This trial is a farce. There is no crime here. It’s all political persecution,” said one supporter.

Additionally, they criticized Cohen’s credibility and called the trial an act of election interference.

Ramaswamy described the trial as a “politicized persecution” that lacked clarity. He criticized the prosecution’s strategy and called the case a sham.

The supporters defended Trump, arguing that he had done nothing wrong and accused the prosecutors of manipulating the justice system for their political agenda.

The trial has drawn attention for its political implications, with supporters and critics alike closely watching the proceedings.

Throughout the trial, Trump has been under a gag order, limiting his ability to comment on the case. However, his allies have been vocal in their support and defense of the former president.
